An Open Letter to Eve Ensler
chiefelk:
Dear Eve Ensler,
I want to start off by saying thank you. I appreciate the time you took to reach out to me, because I know you’re incredibly busy. I know there are much more important people in this world than myself, so I appreciate you engaging in dialogue with me and my colleague Kelleigh Driscoll.
This all started because on Twitter, I addressed some issues that I had with...

Erm, I feel like this isn’t really needing an explanation, but I’ll do one anyways. Martha was only there because she liked the Doctor. When she finally understood that he didn’t like her in...

I don’t know if anyone wants to read it but I wrote a blog entry about feeling imprisoned by my chronic pain. And the shame a broken body inspires. If you feel like reading it.

"But why can't I wear bindi just because I'm...
From hexgrrrlfriend.blogspot.com
So, I decided I would ask girls—girls that actually wear bindis in a way that is religiously or culturally connotative—what they thought. Obviously, like the Internet expert that I am, I went to Tumblr to find some fellow bloggers who wanted their opinions to be heard. I spoke with a fair number of gals, but Nisha was my favorite of the bunch and gave me the most...

“You’re Hurting Your Own Cause”
You: If you keep talking to people like that, you’re just going to hurt your own cause.
Me: Racism on it’s own isn’t enough of a cause to make you want to fight against it?
You: You need to be nice to people.
Me: Being anti-racist isn’t enough?
You: You have to nicely explain to people...
Me: Why racism is a wrong? Really?
You: No, that’s not what I said. You just have to be kind to people when they are mean to you.
Me: In your head, racism comes from oppressed people being mean to their oppressors?
You: No, that’s not what I said. I’m just saying that you have to take the higher ground.
Me: What you are calling “Higher ground” is me being kind to my abuser in hopes that they will suddenly see me as a human and magically, just like in a the movies, realize the error of their ways.
You: Yes.
Me: Wow! I have to go and never be anywhere near you ever again. Thanks for the lesson in brutal ignorance. Next time, I’ll just be outright mean so that I can weed out those that think “Nice” is the antiserum for oppression.
You: Whatever! You’re the racist one.
Me: Oh look at that! You’ve hurt your own cause! You should have been nice to me. That would have made me see the light and magically think that your ignorance was really rainbows and lollipops!
